    Just the Facts: Reason is Resistance

    This is our first episode in the new format, and fittingly it is dedicated to exposing and disposing of some of the more egregious lies told during the 2024 elections. Facts matter, and this program is dedicated to preserving facts and the use of reason, because in an age of disinformation, reason is resistance. The lies of Donald Trump will not go unchallenged. A big thank you to the Jack Pattie Show on WVLK 590 AM in Lexington, KY for having me on the show for a full hour the day before the 2024 elections.
